Why? Because Mike Huckabee, theocratic presidential candidate, will never be Mike Huckabee, theocratic president. At best, he'll be Mike Huckabee, theocratic vice president -- not in Cheney fashion, but more in Quayle fashion, given a few government commissions to look after and basically kept out of public view except for the occasional gaffe.

That's my prediction, anyway. So he's not worth the time, because he's an easy takedown.

That said, let me note Sarah Posner's post on Huckabee's rhetoric:

Huckabee thinks if the "seculars" are allowed to rule America, our country could suffer the same fate as Nazi Germany. A resounding insult all around from this "Christian leader."

In fact, he's been making this comparison for years -- I saw him give more or less the same speech in Iowa back in 2005. And here's the thing that frightens his opponents, on both sides of the aisle: He really believes this stuff. He's not just giving a nod and a wink to pro-lifers, the way George W. Bush and Rudy Giuliani do. He considers it his life's work.
